Missing old posts?

I just tried to search for some posts I made several years ago, when I first joined Card Talk, and they didn't show up in the results.

I tried a key word that I know I used in the original post ("Ricky Jay", FWIW); nothing.

I also tried pulling all the posts I'd ever made, by searching for all posts made by my username. My count is over 900, but the search only returned 90 or so.

Have early posts been lost? Are they not indexed?

Some early posts have been pruned. We are only allowed so much space/posts.

Some of my best gags are lost forever.
